Hi there Thanks for popping in. Monday’s blog is Trees and Flowers, right? So as the Children through the Seasons ODS on Hochanda draws to a close, allow me to shine a little light on something I briefly alluded to this morning in the 8am show. Here are the 8 stamps sets, A boy and a girl for each season, illustrated by darling Linda Williams, originally as Groovi Plates. Very popular! In the words of Mr Kipling, exceedingly good cakes…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie, before I dive into TV demos ! The Highlighter stamps which are being showcased on HOCHANDA 2-4pm are so useful and lovely to use! One I particularly like is the Passion Doodle Round Stamp and Stencil Set. Sometimes, the design says it all. I think this is one such design. All I have used is a black archival inkpad on one of our new panel and frame sets. You’ll notice I…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Won‘t keep you long. Feeling pretty under par today, so maybe an early night will do the trick. Big day tomorrow, so I want to be my best and do my best on HOCHANDA! The new Stencil and Highlighter stamps at 2pm are pretty special, even if I say so myself! There’s so much to show you! So many tricks and tips, I really would like to be fighting fit for that 2 hour…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. After the SHAC Shac this morning, I am heading over to my parents, to deliver their food and supplies. And to spend an afternoon in the company of my oldest and dearest friends. As the lockdown continues, I find more and more that my priorities are shifting, that I am grateful for so much that I previously took for granted. And going over to Gillingham to see Mum and Dad is a highlight. I…
Hi there Thanks for popping on. Been heads down and prepping all day for Sunday’s TV shows. Got some superb new stencil and stamps on the 2-4 pm show. I was up to my elbows in Distress Oxide Spray, alcohol ink, texture paste, gelli plates – it’s going to be a real arty, messy session! And at 6pm we are launching a fabulous new collection of stamps. Remember those wonderful children illustrations by Linda Williams, that we made into Groovi…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Can hardly keep my eyes open this afternoon. Absolutely cream crackered. That’s what comes of working into the night; what you gain one day, you lose the next. So it’s time to have an afternoon catnap. But before I curl up with the cats and have a kip – because I is truly kippered – I want to flag up a new arrival on the website! Finally. Black Posca Pens. They are deluxe, smooth…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. If you caught last week’s TV shows on Hochanda, you will have seen this demo showing off lovely Lily, of the Clarity Character family… Still available at the greatly reduced price too! CLICK HERE It was a bit cold that day, so we made her sleeves a little longer too…. And since she was staying indoors, she said she wanted to wear her stripey nightie too. Something comfy and cheery. Maybe it’s the closet…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Well, it’s certainly busy at Clarity Towers!! The Half Price Members Sale has kicked in – and yikes!!!! Just as well I took some time out on Saturday, to regroup and turn a few pots. Just 3. Nothing special. Just three pots. Three shapes. Three sizes. Paid attention to the bases this time. First one was just plain and simple. Second one I made a little foot with the trippy twirl. Third one I…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Last day of the first month of the year. Woke up to a glorious pinky grey sky – stunning. So let’s call it National Optimistic Sunday! In fact, forget the borders! Let’s call it INTERNATIONAL Optimistic Sunday. Onwards and upwards with vigour! Here’s a simple card from me to you, using our lovely silhouette Characters, a couple of larger Word Chain stamps and the smaller of the 2 Rectangle Backdrop Stamps. I made a…
